  • control valves are integrated in the cover plate, they are available for all application forms.
  • the cover plate preferably has at least one control valve for controlling the functional device provided in the insert.
  • at least a shut-off element for the compressed air inlet is integrated into the cover plate.
  • the integrated control units in the cover plate can be used for internal negative pressure generation or also for the connection and disconnection of the connection with an external negative pressure generation.
  • the functional device is preferably a vacuum generator (in particular for generating negative pressure in the opening of the insert), and / or a shut-off device for an opening of the insert.
  • the insert preferably has a plug-in housing which is separate from the housing of the surface suction gripper and in which the functional device is accommodated.
  • the insert can therefore be exchanged as a compact module.
  • the functional device is fastened or mounted directly on the cover plate, in particular without a housing. Thus, the required space can be reduced.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through an area suction gripper according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of a surface suction gripper according to the invention in longitudinal section.
  • the surface suction gripper 10 shown in FIG. 1 has an essentially cuboidal housing 12 in the illustrated example, which is shown in longitudinal section in FIG.
  • the housing 12 defines in its interior a suction chamber 14 and has a suction side 16, to which during operation of the surface suction a non-illustrated workpiece can be applied and can be sucked.
  • the housing 12 also has a different from the suction side 16 end face 18, which is formed in the example shown by a narrow side of the cuboid housing 12.
  • the housing 12 also has a plurality of suction openings 20, which pass through the suction side 16 in the example shown and thus establish a flow connection with the suction chamber 14.
  • the surface suction gripper 10 shown in Figure 1 is designed for operation with an external vacuum supply.
  • the housing 12 has a vacuum supply port 22 which is e.g. may have a corresponding connection piece for connecting a vacuum hose.
  • the end face 18 of the housing 12 is closed by a preferably releasably mounted cover plate 24.
  • the cover plate 24 has a compressed air inlet 26, which serves for connection to a compressed air supply and, for example, can have corresponding connecting pieces. It can also be provided several compressed air inlets.
  • an insert 28 is arranged, which is formed in the example shown in the manner of a plug-in module with its own plug-in housing 30.
  • the plug-in housing 30 is inserted into the housing 12 of the surface suction gripper 10 and is mounted on the cover plate 24.
  • the attachment of the insert to the cover plate 24 is releasable, so that the insert 28 is exchangeable for retrofitting of the surface suction gripper 10.
  • the insert 28 serves to control the flow through the suction openings 20 during operation of the surface suction gripper and thus to influence the functions of the surface suction gripper.
  • air is sucked in through the suction openings 20 due to a negative pressure prevailing in the suction space 14.
  • the suction can be set or a blow-off pulse in the form of a flow from the suction space 14 through the suction opening 20 can also be used.
  • the insert 28 has at least one opening 32 which opens into the suction chamber 14 and is thus flow-connected to the suction openings 20 of the housing 12 of the surface suction gripper 10.
  • the insert 28 comprises a functional device 34, by means of which the flow through the opening 32 of the insert 28 and thus also a flow through the suction openings 20 can be controlled.
  • the functional device 34 comprises a piston-like shut-off device 36 which is displaceable between a suction position and a closed position in the slot 28. In the suction position of the vacuum supply port 22 is fluidly connected through the slot 28 with the opening 32 of the insert 28, so that air through the suction openings 20 into the suction chamber 14, through the opening 32 and finally through the vacuum supply port 22 is sucked. In the closed position, the flow connection between the vacuum supply port 22 and the opening 32 of the insert 28 is interrupted.
  • the obturator 36 of the functional device 34 is pneumatically controlled.
  • the obturator 36 has a control piston section 38, which delimits a control chamber 40 which can be acted upon by compressed air for displacing the obturator 36 between the closed position and the suction position.
  • the control chamber 40 is connected by a connection channel, not shown in the section of Figure 1, which passes through the insert 28 in the direction of the end face 18, with a compressed air outlet 41 of the cover plate 24 and a control valve 42 integrated in the cover plate 24.
  • a connection channel not shown in the section of Figure 1
  • the control valve 24 By means of the control valve 24, a flow connection to a compressed air inlet 26 can be made.
  • control valve 42 may in turn comprise a shut-off device, e.g. a displaceable control piston.
  • the obturator can be electrically controlled, wherein a corresponding control terminal 26 'can also be arranged on the cover plate 24.
  • the functional device 34 comprises a further piston-like obturator 44, which is displaceable between a neutral position and a ventilation position in the slot 28.
  • a flow connection between the vacuum supply connection 22 and a ventilation opening 45 of the surface suction gripper 10, for example to the environment can be produced.
  • this flow connection is preferably interrupted.
  • the further obturator 44 may be pneumatically controlled, for example via a control chamber 46 which controlled by means of another control valve 48 of the cover plate 24 can be acted upon with compressed air.
  • FIG. 2 shows another surface suction gripper 60, which differs substantially from the surface suction gripper shown in FIG. 1 by the design of the functional device 34 of the insertion 28.
  • the functional device 34 here comprises a compressed-air-operated vacuum generator 62, which in the illustrated example is designed as a three-stage ejector with three successive propelling nozzles or receiver nozzles.
  • a distributor space 64 is formed, which is fluidly connected to a corresponding compressed air inlet and via a connecting channel, not shown in the section of FIG 2, with the outlet of a control valve 42 of the cover plate 24.
  • the distributor chamber 64 can be supplied with compressed air from the compressed air inlet 26 in a controlled manner via the control valve 42.
  • the nozzles of the ejector 62 are fed in a generally known manner, so that air can be sucked through the plurality of openings 32 of the insert 28.
  • the insert 28 also has an exhaust opening 66 which is connected via a corresponding opening in the housing 12 with the environment, so that the exhaust air of the ejector 62 can be discharged.
  • a fundamental advantage of the modular construction with cover plate 24 and insert 28 is that by replacing the insert 28, a conversion of the surface suction is possible.
  • the functional device 34 may also be designed such that via a corresponding shut-off controlled connection between the opening 32 and a compressed air inlet 26 can be made, so that for detaching a sucked workpiece, a compressed air pulse through a further opening of the insert 28 and thus can be generated by the suction port 20.
  • this obturator via a corresponding control valve (in the manner of the control valve 42 and 48) in the cover plate 24 can be controlled.
